    Lomas de Arena is a small natural wonder of 3000 hectares of sand dunes located 17 km (45 min drive) from the city of Santa Cruz Bolivia. Take your water and hat for the sun.

    Great place to know and to walk. The price to enter is just US$3. You can go just to know, taking on a 4x4 jeep, or you can walk for about 2 hours (7km) since the entry of the park, where you can arrive taking a "micro" in the city.

    Surely the four-wheel drive is necessary. 4륜구동 필수!

    I was at this park about a week ago. I had not read the reviews on google carefully (A mistake from my side and just want everyone reading this review to be aware). I was using a taxi to do sight seeing in Santa Cruz and surrounding areas. The driver mentioned that he has been to this park about 10 or 12 years ago. So, I took it for granted that he knew the area. From the main entrance it is about 3 Km walk or drive (normal cars are allowed in this stretch of the access to the park. However, it is better if you have a a four wheel drive). The sand is very soft but we did not have any issues driving this 3 Km to the access to the park. This access is manned and only four wheel drive vehicles are allowed beyond this point. The entrance fee per person is 20 Bolivian currency, which is roughly 3 US$. The name and details of persons entering is registered in the entrance log (however, when we returned, there was no one at this gate and our exit was not recorded. Not sure what happens if you get lost or have an issue while walking to the sand dunes). I had asked my taxi driver about how much is the distance to the sand dunes and he said it is about 2 Km. It actually was 4 Km and it took us one hour to walk to the foothills of the big sand dune. Did not have the energy to climb up this sand dune. We had made the mistake of not carrying water and snacks. I was tired but we did not rest, we walked back to the gated entrance, which also took us about one hour. Pls be aware that there are no shops / stores within (There are cabanas and accommodation for tourists in the area) this area to buy water or food. Pls pack water and snacks before to start this 4 Km walk. If it is a sunny day, then pls also do what you have to do to protect yourself from the sun. The sand is very soft and your shoes (foot) does dig a bit into the sand as you walk this 4 Km.

    Nothing to help tourists at all. 3 km walking to "office" then another 4 km to giant sand dune. No transportation, very little signage. It's ok, if you're interested in a long boring walk, then climbing a big sand dune under a relentless sun, then a long boring walk back. If that's your thing, you'll love it. Otherwise - meh.

    We had a truck, but it wasn't 4x4 so we got stuck. Needed help out and didn't make it. I'm sure it is gorgeous though

  • 5/5 Agnula S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A small copy of the Arabian deserts, but combined with the jungle, rivers and a multitude of birds. Ideal for groups, families and people who are looking for adventures with lots of sand. Tips: take food, snacks, plenty of fluids, clothes and comfortable shoes in the sun and heat, but don't forget also sunscreen / cream and mosquito repellent. As remarks: - improve the indications of roads and trails with signs and signals. - improved cleaning by starting to place more garbage cans. - It would be good to have tourist guide service, motorcycle rental, vehicles for the sand. - improve and increase security and surveillance because there are robberies in car parks. (Original) Una pequeña copia de los desiertos árabes, pero combinada con la selva, ríos y una multitud de aves. Ideal para grupos, familias y las personas que están en búsqueda de aventuras con mucha arena. Consejos: llevarse comida, snacks, muchos líquidos, ropa y zapatos cómodos de sol y calor, pero no olvidarse también el protector/crema solar y repelente para los mosquitos. Como observaciones: - mejorar las indicaciones de los caminos y senderos con letreros y señales. - mejora de la limpieza empezando a colocar más cubos de basura. - sería bueno tener servicio de guías turísticas, alquiler de motos, vehículos para la arena. - mejorar y aumentar la seguridad y vigilancia porque hay robos en los parqueos de coches.

    Breathtaking experience. I was fully satisfied coming here. Totally different, from Santa Cruz. There were like 2 lakes on the sand dunes, and very clean. Took 4x4 for going there. The guide was very friendly. Unfortunately on the day I visited had a lot lot lot of wind, that I couldn't see clearly. Lots of wind, and sand itch the body and was irritating. But it was great sight. Worth visit

    A little far from the city, most cars will not be able to enter the full path, but once you get there, it's all worth it. Unique place in Santa Cruz, specially its sunsets

    Great expanse of dunes with odd river and lake ... 13000 hectares.

  • 5/5 Nadil Q. 5 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    You can go from el centro by taking the bus 109 or the 21 but you’ll still have to walk around 4km after paying the entrance fee. So make sure you have a way to go there and back after paying the fee. Once there it’s beautiful and an amazing experience but sometimes during the year the lakes are dry so try to ask some locals before if you want to see it.
